Help with alignment. Lowered

Lowered the w166 with h&R springs, but now i have crazy camber on front and rear. I saw for other models they sell camber plates but nothing for w166. I do not want to replace bushings too much work involved. I know the dealer sells camber bolts, but that will give me a degree at the most. Has anyone encountered this problem?

I just replaced my rears with H&R and don't have any issues. And mine's a BT, which they claim won't work with their sport springs.
Which springs did you purchase, as I understand they have 2-3 different models?

29147-1 mine is also BT. Problem is I cannot get the front camber. As the suv has no adjustments in the front. Rear camber adjustment was also not enough

Does anyone know the eccentric bolts, how much adjustment do they give? 1 degree, 2 degree?
